Gatorade on Sunday released a refreshed version of its classic “Be Like Mike” commercial, with appearances from Pelican’s Zion Williamson, the Mystics’ Elena Delle Donne and the Celtics’ Jayson Tatum.
The 30-second spot, which debuted on Twitter shortly before ESPN aired the fifth and sixth episodes of “The Last Dance,” intertwined clips from the original ad with home videos of Williamson, Delle Donne and Tatum playing basketball in their driveways.
The three players, who are rare, exceptional athletes in their own rights, have ties to Michael Jordan.
Williamson and Tatum are signed to the Jordan brand.
